A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and more substantial main stems, producing a crisp, vertical rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing, and many terminals taper to pointed, calligraphic-looking ends. Uppercase proportions feel stately and spacious with smooth, round bowls and a slightly formal stance, while the lowercase maintains clear structure and open counters for readability. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with delicate joins and elegant curves that keep the set consistent in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where high contrast and refined serif detailing can shine. It also works effectively for display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal invitations where an elegant, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting classic editorial typography and cultured refinement. Its sharp detailing and airy hairlines give it a premium, boutique feel, while the calm upright posture keeps it composed rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated text serif with pronounced contrast and finely drawn serifs, balancing classical proportions with crisp, modern finishing. It prioritizes an elegant page texture and clear typographic hierarchy in editorial and display contexts.
In the sample text, the face shows strong stroke-contrast sparkle and clean word shapes, with delicate details that benefit from adequate size and good reproduction. The design reads as contemporary-classical: traditional serif forms with particularly crisp terminals and a light, airy color.
